Sena: psychology deals with the mind, and the signs around the mind. Such as, if I were to read how someone felt, figgity, looking away, sweating, stuttering - or looking in the eyes, sitting still, etc... All are response from the brain. So, psychology as it is... there are two great sides of evolution vs spiritual (don't shoot me).. scientific way, dates our world back a very very long time. Religion, dates only certain things, not really all that far back - unless you include Greek Gods and Roman Gods.

First, the Jewish religion came before Christianity. Muslim I believe, came next. Christianity came in third - they are probably all the same religion, modified to suit a culture's standing beliefs, a change of belief, and a break off of what they did not want to believe. Hence why there are literally hundreds of recorded religions - one religion only having about 100 followers, since it was created in one town by a group of people. That I believe is the branch

However, I will note that psychologically speaking people do not like being wrong. They do not want to be proven wrong, and even when there is nothing to prove they MUST prove they are right - even in some sense. Just like the reason I probably will not tell my kid there is a magical Santa who climbs down chimneys and has flying reindeer... Although a man it was based off of, did exist, he died quite a while back and all he was was a mere toy maker - but to some kids, Santa being fake is kind of like parents lying to them for the first... 6...8... years of their lives. But, then again, some kids take it all as fun and games, as a way to prove themselves (better be good, or santa gives you a lump of coal...)

Geoff: As a general rule of thumb, you shouldn't follow any URL posted on a public forum without great care. Especially if it is a) irrelevant to the topic at hand, b) uses a rather bizarre string of subdomains, c) is entirely unsolicited, and d) isn't a domain you recognise.

Likeitornot: Why? because we are collectively simular therefore predictable. Love and hate is the same emotion… proof (A) it uses the same neurons in the brain (B) out of love someone somewhere receives what we call hate. ie) Terrorism is a good example, it is not done out of hate but out of love for their country and their beliefs. What the next person or country might receive is hate. Another good example, when you were a child and you got spanked, the typical justification that followed was, “I only spanked you for your own good and because I love you” Did it feel like love on your butt? hehehehehehehe.

Nicorrette: well,I stiil say I have to see again the rules for a discipline to be science...there were 3 rule for soemthign to become a science,but my personal view is that psihology is related to medicine,meaning its a branch more sofisticated and unexplainable of medicine,and its logique then....medicine is a science
psihology its a branch of medicine
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
psihology its a science!
demonstrated using the science of logique.!

Sorang: first, how you define science? basically its a study of life and all the things its related. so, yea psychology is a science cause its a study of one's mind, which actually harder than E=MC2. imo.
